Oh? My atheist parents forced me to take a scripture class? A scripture class that had no option for one to be removed? (I was there, you weren't. Remember that.)

Quote:Religions or schools have no legal power to force anyone to do anything.

Sure, I could leave the lesson just as much as I could leave my math lessons, sure. But education is kind of compulsory, and the government doesn't take kindly to truancy.

Quote:Perhaps you should take your own advice my man!

As usual, I have posted only known facts, while you have only sought to blame religion for why you resent your parents!

Parents were atheist, they wouldn't have forced me to attend a religious class of the option was presented to them. And I don't resent my parents either, but hey, thanks for speaking for me! I sure love that! /sarcasm.
